Rubber expansion bellow – Ensure the strongest joints

When you come across a large construction site, the first thing that comes to mind is how much time and effort has gone into giving the structure a suitable shape. To ensure the safety of a structure, whether it is a building, bridge, railway track, piping system, machine, or any other structure, the heat-induced contraction and expansion of the building material must be considered. The expansion bellow or expansion joint ensures that the material absorbs shocks efficiently, enables movement during an earthquake, and still keeps the parts together.

We are all aware that any type of structure, such as pipes or concrete slabs, expands and contracts as a result of weather changes or natural disasters such as earthquakes and tornadoes. Excessive warmth and cooling caused by seasonal fluctuations can have a significant impact on any structure. This is why we see cracks in many old buildings and structures because the notion of expansion joints was unknown at the time.
